“That band with the wannabe INCANTATION logo and Chris Moyen’s goat on their debut 7” – I remember that first impression about INTO DARKNESS, which made me think that checking them out would be a waste of time, which could be spent on listening to the real deal (INCANTATION) instead. Fortunately, later I discovered by accident […]
The name GOD DETHRONED does not need any further introduction. Nine full-length outputs are listed in the discography of the Dutch based band with Henry Sattler being the only founding member active on all releases. My first encouter with the band was back in 1996, when they aroused my attention by releasing "The Grand Grimoire". […]
Well, I originally intended this review to be extremely short. The original version read like this: “It’s Rogga Johansson, so you know what is to do!” Well, even though these words might be enough for a lot of you, I decided to tell you more about this fairly new EP from Rogga’s first and still […]
PUTRID YELL keeps up to the tradition of Chilean quality Death Metal. Specially in the last few years, it seems you can’t go wrong with anything coming from Chile. In this case, PUTRID YELL takes their influence from the NWOSDM era. "When Life Has Ceased" relies on a raw and direct approach to mid paced […]
There is this track called ‘What’s That Noise?’ by S.O.D. and that was exactly my first thought listening to "…Erat Ante Oculos". What the hell? To be honest, I quit listening after a few minutes. This happens not very often, I am used to listening to Grindcore, Noisecore and lo-fi Black Metal and mostly I […]
This EP really looks promising, with it’s old fashioned artwork and a band name that sounds really old school as well. NECRORITE is the brain child of Uriel Aguillon of the Mexican underground band MORBICUS, among others. They started as a one man band with Uriel doing everything and grew into a full band since […]
Aaaaaaarrrrggghhh, this is it! This is pure fuckin’ Death Metal the way it was meant to be played! INFAMY already impressed me with their "Count The Dead" demo and "The Blood Shall Flow" debut full-length, but this two song promo CD-R definitely contains the best material (yet?) that these guys have ever come up with! […]
The L.A. based INFAMY already blew up some dust with their first and up to now only album “The Blood Shall Flow” in 1998. This one gave us damn brutal Death Metal, the American way, with an anti-virtuosic approach. And I can’t deny that I like the album especially because of that. Three years later, […]
No less than 23 years after the release of their debut full-length "Crime Against Humanity", LA Grinders NAUSEA finally came up with its follow-up "Condemned To The System". Ok, to remain fair here, the four piece was on hold between 1994 and 2001, went through various line-up changes (vocalist / guitarist Oscar Garcia and drummer […]
SEPOLCRO from Italy has been formed in 2011 and they have released their first demo in 2013, which now has been re-issued by Unholy Domain Records. The name of the demo, as well as the record label reveal, what is to expect from this three-piece from Verona. Old school rotten Death Metal is the program. […]
